Some places, like civil service or non-profit jobs, need to advertise the position. Thing is, by the time they put the ad up on their website or Charityvillage, they have already informally chosen who they intend to hire.

Is there a way to tell when this has happened? I'd rather not waste my time with these people.

Not that I can tell. Just assume that any job is like that.

Even when I got hired at a fast food place in Uni, it was because I was friends with someone who already worked there. When other people were hired, at least 75% of the time it was a friend or family member of an employee or the boss, and the times that it wasn't it was because they were desperate for people to fill in open shifts and couldn't find anyone. When they needed new workers they would come to us and ask if anyone we knew needed a job.
